Again, take this for what it is worth, I'm a life long football fan, and I have been sponging up everything I can for about a month now.

But only one month.

It seems to me the best league would be one that restricts weight by position. It is harder to govern, but is the most realistic and fair.

Sadly, this makes the purchase of a $15 digital jewelry scale off EBAY almost a league necessity.

But, I think the best most realistic formula, is the following:

Weight Limits:
4.0 grams max for OL and DL
3.6 grams max for QBs, RBs, TEs and LBs
3.2 grams max for WRs and DBs

Figures: ALL figures - custom or stock -should be allowed as long as they meet height, width and length limits.

Height - Figures should be no taller than ff.com's BLITZER;

Width - Figures should be no wider than Miggle/Tudor's '67 Big Man DB;

Length - Figure limbs should not extend further than Buzzball's CVR or ff.com's BARRY.

Bases:

ALL current manufacturers stock bases should be allowed. But only those that are readily available via a web link for all to buy, EASILY, without going to EBAY and performing a search for old out of date or hard to find items.

No Frankensteining - combining bases or attaching additional prongs should never be allowed;
You should be allowed to remove, pull, stretch, smash, flash, squish or squeeze the prongs underneath;

Base shells should be unmodified other than removing the flashing either by quick flame or Exacto knife; Putty under the base should be allowed as long as it is not protruding on any figure except the TTQB. Absolutely no metal or screws or nails under bases.

Double-sided tape or a washable kid's glue stick should be allowed to attach or hold loose figures to base as long as either doesn't ooze or protrude from underneath the platform causing other players to stick to it, and as long as, upon request, they are easily separated for weight verification.

Double-sided tape or minimal kid's glue stick should be allowed to attach or hold in place loose dials to shells.

Just my two cents. But this seems to be the best.

Again, take this for what it is worth. I have ONE MONTH'S EXPERIENCE.
